This exceptional collection comes from a distinguished Vancouver-based consignor whose lifelong dedication to fine and rare wines and spirits has resulted in an impressive cellar. The consignor, an avid enthusiast and active buyer, began seriously collecting while attending Law School and Graduate Business School in New York City over a decade ago, acquiring wines from a myriad of esteemed sources over the years. Many of the wines in this particular consignment were sourced locally within Canada including from the BC Liquor Distribution Branch upon release, while others were procured from leading merchants in New York, the UK, and the Napa Valley. Wines acquired outside of Canada were transported via private aviation. All wines were recently removed by IronGate from a 1,000+ square foot temperature-controlled stone cellar under ideal conditions. These wines reflect a legacy of passion and expertise, as the consignor now makes room for new acquisitions.
The score for 1994 Dominus Estate Napa Valley is 99 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Christian Moueix and his talented winemaking team continue to rewrite the definition of a Napa Valley reference point wine. I have had a difficult time keeping the corks in my bottles of 1994 Dominus. Eight-thousand cases were produced from a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc, 12% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot. In this vintage, 174 days passed between bud break and the harvest, a remarkable period of time for any wine region in the world. The 1994 is a strikingly thick, compellingly rich wine with the texture of a great Pomerol, despite being made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine exhibits a dense purple color, and an incredibly fragrant nose of jammy black fruits, spice, smoke, and loamy, truffle-like scents. In the mouth, it is full-bodied, with thrilling levels of extract and richness, but no sense of heaviness or harshness. This seamless Dominus possesses no hard edges, as its acidity, tannin, and alcohol are beautifully meshed with copious quantities of ripe fruit. This wine offers early drinking, yet has the potential to last for 30+ years.
